FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 20, 2025
Leesburg, VA- Virginia Heart is proud to announce that Dr. Chirag Sandesara, a board-certified electrophysiologist, performed the first Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) procedure for treating atrial fibrillation at Inova Loudoun Hospital.
PFA offers a more effective and safer treatment for atrial fibrillation by providing advanced precision in targeting the abnormal heart tissue associated with the condition. Unlike traditional methods, PFA is designed to be more selective and less damaging, which studies have shown may result in fewer complications, faster recovery times, and an overall better patient experience.
“We are thrilled to be among the first to offer Pulsed Field Ablation, which represents a promising leap forward in cardiac care,” said Dr. Sandesara. “This procedure is an exciting addition to our treatment plans, and it holds the potential to revolutionize the way we treat patients with difficult-to-manage atrial fibrillation.”
